I have a Canopus, which has a secret mode for bypassing the copy protection. I don't remember what it is, but I saw it while googling.
Are these tapes super-rare? Anything on VHS is pretty low quality once you digitize it. You would probably get a better looking copy through torrents (this is also illegal, so I didn't actually suggest it).
Also, why make DVDs? I'm archiving a bunch of my old videotape performances to file, and when I want to watch them, transfer them to the TiVo. I don't think homeburned DVDs have a great shelf life.
